The Raeton is a big gamble for Chang’an because the brand is strongly associated with small cars and minivans. Response to the Raeton has however been very positive so Chang’an might have a winner in hand. The Raeton will also be exported, first to South America and possibly Russia and later to Europe as well. Cheap, big, and a lot of goodies. Now for that negative image of Chinese cars…

A decent engine cover, still a novelty for many Chinese auto makers. Loox good enough.

Buttons around gear lever a bit crappy, possibly a pre-production thing.
